WINDOW-SASH.

SPECIFICATION formigpart of Letters Patent No. 471,663, dated March 29,1892. Application luttant 25,1891. serial No. 397,477. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STINA O. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States,residing at Englewood, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented a new and useful Window-Sash, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in window-sashes; and it has forits object to' provide a sash whereby ready access may be had to theglass therein and to all parts thereof for the purpose of cleansing theglass, for facilitating the insertion of new panes to supplement brokenglass, and also to avoid the objection of painting the frame inclosingthe glass, and particularly in orderthat both time and labor nlay beeconomized in cleansing the glass.

With these objects in View the invention consists of a sash providedwith a removable supplemental frame within which is secured the ordinarywindow-pane, the same being ar# ranged and constructed in the novelmanner described, illustrated in the drawings, and

specifically pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a perspective view of a sashconstructed in accordance with my invention, illustrating thesupplemental sliding frame therein in its withdrawn position. Fig. 2 isa longitudinal sectional View of both sashes constructed as described.Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View of a single sash embodying thefeatures described.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates the ordinary uppersash, located within the usual window-casing, and the lower sash(designated by the numeral 2) occupies the usual relative position tothe upper sash, while both sashes are provided with the usual beveledmeeting .edges 3 and 4. Within the side rails of each sash are grooves5, which communicate with a bottom groove 6, located within the bottomrail of each and form together ways within which the supplemental sashor frame 7 slides and is seated, the salne carrying the ordinary pane ofglass 8, fitted thereinin the customary manner, and are provided attheirupper edgeswith the cross-cleats 9, which when the said sliding frame orsash is seated within the main frame takes into the shoulders l0,located at the upper ends of the side rails of the main sash, andbesides forming an additional seat for the supplemental tion is thoughtto be apparent without further description. In order that thesupplemental sash or frame in the upper sash may be removed, the lowersash is raised and the upper sash lowered a sufficient distance to allowthe supplelnental frame to be slid therefrom, while from the lower sashthe supplemental sash or frame maybe removed therejfrom while bothsashes are in their normal positions. It can be now readily seen how theframes can be readily removed in order to wash the panes of glassWithout soiling the wood-work, and vice versa, and that the woodwork maybe painted without soiling the panes.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is p In a window-sash, the main sash-frame providedwith the inner side grooves, the'bottom communicating groove or recess,and the inner shoulders lO, located at the upper ends of the sides ofsaid sash, and a supplemental frame or. sash having the ordinarywindowlight fitted therein, vertically sliding and seat.- ed within saidgrooves and provided with an upper transverse cross-cleat 9, which isadapted to take Within said shoulders l0 and rest flush with the top ofthe sash-frame, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afxed mysignature in presence of twowitnesses.
